Web/iOS: MyTime is a new service that takes the hassle out of scheduling appointments for the doctor, to get your car serviced, to get a haircut, and more. Just search for the type of appointment you need to make, choose from available locations, and pick a time that works for you. MyTime handles the rest.

Usually, making those appointments can be a pain. You have to wait until the business is open and call them (usually when you're working too), figure out a time that works, then make the appointment and add it to your calendar. MyTime lets you browse and schedule appointments whenever you choose—day or night. For example, if you decide one night you should get your car serviced, MyTime can help you set up a future appointment right then, without waiting until morning or calling anyone, for a time of day that also works for you.

The service launched today with over two million businesses across the country in tow, most in categories like auto service, pet grooming, doctor's office and dentist's visits, housekeeping and cleaning services, haircuts, and more. When you do schedule an appointment, MyTime will follow up with you later and ask if you'd like to schedule again. For example, if you get a haircut, the app will send you a note in 5-6 weeks to see if you need another one.

On the iPhone (Android is on the way, according to the folks behind MyTime), the app even looks through your calendar and won't even propose times that are already booked. You can even import businesses from your contacts or calendar so you can schedule the same places you already go to inside the app.

MyTime is free to use. You pay for your appointments through the app (which is how MyTime makes money), but you're not billed until after the appointment. Plus, since you can choose appointment times that work for you, MyTime offers discounts for off-peak hours where the business is light on customers (and you won't have to wait to be seen).
